Einleitung

In this guide, we will be reaching and removing the motherboard from its housing in the Astro A40 Gen2. The motherboard is the only component inside the mixamp.

WARNING: Use caution when placing screws to the side as they are very small and easy to lose. Place them in groups apart from each other to avoid confusion.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Remove the dials using either a metal spudger or your hands. Be careful as the dials may be difficult to remove.

Schritt 2

Locate the two 11/32 inch nuts underneath the dials.
Use an 11/32 inch socket wrench or tweezers to unscrew and remove the nuts and washers.

Schritt 3

Using a larger metal spudger, remove the rubber back of the mixamp.
The back will have glue residue after removal. Depending on the stickiness of the residue, more glue may be needed to stick the backing back on.

Schritt 4

Remove the one 4.5 mm Phillips #0 screw on the back panel of the mixamp.

Schritt 5

Using a large metal spudger, detach all plastic clips holding the bottom and top casings together.
Remove the input casing using your fingers.
Be careful when releasing the clips between the two casings, as it is very easy to scratch the mixamp or break the clips.
Use caution when pulling the two casings apart as it is very easy to pinch your fingers between them.
